Test Barbicide™ and other salon disinfectants with 0–10,000 ppm quat test strips. Indigo® 0-10,000 ppm Quat test strips can ensure your special "blue disinfectant" isn't just cleaning combs, scissors, and surfaces but killing lice nits in compliance with health regulations.

Barbicide™ is the industry-standard disinfectant  for hair salons, barbershops, nail studios, & spas to sanitize combs, scissors, razors, clippers, & manicure tools. It is a quaternary ammonium compound (“quat”) concentrate typically diluted to 6,000-10,000 ppm for immersion jars and cleaning stations. Indigo® 0–10,000 ppm quat test strips can ensure your Barbicide™ solution is at the correct strength for bacterial, fungal, and viral disinfection, protecting clients and meeting state cosmetology board regulations.

All Indigo® Quat (QAC) test strips come in 100 (not 50) strips per pack & 3 year minimum guaranteed shelf life backed by a Certificate of Analysis, Stability & SDS documents as listed below; Certificate of Conformance on request. Be prepared for any health & safety audit or inspection.

Best Practices for Salons Using Barbicide™

 
  • Mix correctly: Always dilute Barbicide according to the manufacturer’s instructions (2 oz per 32 oz water or 50mL/litre).
  • Test daily: Use 10,000 ppm quat test strips to confirm potency at the start of each day.
  • Replace solutions: Change Barbicide whenever it becomes cloudy, contaminated, or after a full day’s use.
  • Clean before disinfecting: Tools should be washed of hair and debris before immersion; Barbicide disinfects, but does not clean dirt/oils.
  • Soak for full contact time: Immerse tools for at least 10 minutes to ensure full disinfection.
  • Store safely: Keep Barbicide jars covered to reduce contamination and evaporation.

Dip strip & remove for immediate readings at 1000-2500-5000-10000 ppm for quaternary ammonium disinfectant concentration. Read strip results immediately. If you wait the 30 seconds needed for some other strips you will get a reading that is too high.
 
  • Indigo® test strips have a guaranteed minimum 3 year shelf life but are stored in desiccant lined vials so actual shelf life can be 5+ years.

Easy to order online, shipment was made in a efficient timeline. Test kits appear to be working but need further experimentation to ensure results are consistent over time.
